Are You a Wandering Generality or a Meaningful Specific?
“Don’t become a wandering generality. Be a meaningful specific.” Zig Ziglar
Meaning of the Quote:
You should not become someone who is wandering through life with no specific purpose or meaning to your life. Instead, be someone who stands out from the crowd. With dreams and goals that add meaning and purpose to your life as you accomplish them along your life journey, you become a meaningful specific.
Discussing of the Quote:
If you are a wandering generality, it means that you have not set any goals to strive towards so you will wander through life using your time for nothing specific. With no dreams to look forward to, no goals to accomplish, nothing to make your life better, meaningful and fulfilling, you will just fade into the background and become a wandering generality.
On the other hand, when you have specific goals to achieve, this can boost your motivation and improve your quality of life and shift the way you use your time. As you accomplish your goals, you become better. Your life will have meaning because you have a purpose for your life. So you will become uniquely special and that will make you a meaningful specific.
Final Thought:
Indeed it is not easy to find your purpose in life with all the confusion, controversy and uncertainty in life. Therefore, it is quite easy to become a wandering generality instead. However, we have to decide to be a meaningful specific by finding our purpose and meaning in life. Have dreams for your life and set goals and achieve them and become the best that you can be so you stand out from the crowd and become a meaningful specific.
I appreciate your time and your comments.
To our success!

What a wonderful blog. I have never heard that quote before but it is very thought-provoking.
I am afraid most of us are "generalities" never accomplishing our purpose in life and just fading into the background.
One of the hardest tasks we have in life is to find out our "specific" - unfortunately, we are asked to make the biggest choices when we are young and inexperienced - like marriage, education, career, who we associate with, etc.
Love your blog - I may steal that quote, though!

Thanks for the quote and the discussion. It is important to find meaning in your wandering. I, for one, have found the love of my life, my wife, is the reason I wander through this life.
Everything I do, I do to make her life better and easier.
WA is going to allow us to spend more time together, therefore becoming a pair of meaningful wanderers.
Have a great day!
